Vacation photo album!

As you know, the Ruddy men and I were on a little vacay last week in Michigan, where Nick hails from. We saw old friends, new friends, family, a sea otter. Alex got to meet his two great grandmas, which made me really happy (and, I have to admit, a little sad that my grandparents never got to see him...). Our first stop was Northville, where we bbq'd the night away with some of Nick's boys from a million years ago (love them all). Then we headed up north to Traverse City to spend the week with Nick's parents, which was super relaxing and beautiful (Lake Michigan is like an ocean!). Finally, we came back to the Detroit area for a friend's wedding. Nick and I stayed alone in a great hotel for two days (now that's a vacation!) and Alex hung with Nick's mom and grandma in Flint, where Nick grew up. I'm not sure who had more fun, Alex or his grandmas (or his mom). Here are some of our favorite shots (you'll notice there are none of the wedding weekend--sorry!):
